Table 70: Lists of plant remains and other components of the samples by context and sample. For each record, the number in the third column gives the score for abundance on a four-point semi-quantitative scale (for /T subsamples) or a three-point scale (in the case of /SPT and /BS subsamples). The fourth column provides some additional information about the material, often relating to size of the largest fragments or clasts. The nature of preservation was usually anoxic waterlogging except where explicitly stated otherwise—except for cereal grains, where the material was charred unless otherwise indicated.
